Answer:

HI.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass.

  • <em>(Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).</em>
  • An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of that of oxygen.

∵ Rate of effusion of unknown gas = 1/2 (Rate of effusion of O₂)

∴ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = 2.

Molar mass of O₂ = 32.0 g/mol.

∵ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).

∴  2.0 = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / √32.0.

( √molar mass of unknown gas) = 2.0 x √32.0

By squaring the both sides:

∴ molar mass of unknown gas = (2.0 x √32.0)² = 128 g/mol.

∴ The molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 80.91 g/mol and the molar mass of HI = 127.911 g/mol.

<em>So, the unknown gas is HI.</em>

A 3.00-L flask is filled with gaseous ammonia, NH3. The gas pressure measured at 27.0 ∘C is 2.55 atm . Assuming ideal gas behavi
Whitepunk [10]

Answer : The mass of ammonia present in the flask in three significant figures are, 5.28 grams.

Solution :

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}\times RT

where,

n = number of moles of gas

w = mass of ammonia gas  = ?

P = pressure of the ammonia gas = 2.55 atm

T = temperature of the ammonia gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

M = molar mass of ammonia gas = 17 g/mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

V = volume of ammonia gas = 3.00 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the mass of ammonia gas.

(2.55atm)\times (3.00L)=\frac{w}{17g/mole}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (300K)

w=5.28g

Therefore, the mass of ammonia present in the flask in three significant figures are, 5.28 grams.

A window washer does not want to change her position.
Mrrafil [7]
The answer should be C) Balanced because if she doesn't want to change spots/move, than she doesn't want to be in motion which means she wants to stay still and that would be balanced.

In a commercial chemical cold pack, an inner pouch containing water is broken and the water is allowed to mix with a sample of s
yulyashka [42]

Answer: Positive, positive

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

For a cold pack, the energy has to be absorbed for the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water so that the surroundings feel cold.Thus as energy is absorbed, \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

The solid form of ammonium nitrate is getting converted to ions and thus entropy increases and thus \Delta S for the reaction comes out to be positive.
